Awesome upgrade Jaxel, keep up the good work. I will soon update vbirc.com/xenforo to also include a link to this thread as alternative download.
As suggested above, being able to prefix a username by default would be nice as common names on IRC will already be taken.

I run a website. I need a chat system with the ability to retain the EXACT username of my members 100% of the time when they join. If my name is “Ryan” on the site then I must appear as “Ryan” in chat. There can be no exceptions. If I appear as “Ryan123” then my members cannot truly know if that user is really me. Someone else could make up a user with the name “Ryan456” and claim it was me. That is a problem.
I notice when I log into your IRC it presently detects my website username “admin”. Is there a way for the IRC to allow me to connect with the name “admin” 100% of the time and never alter it in any way? Same result would be needed for all my members. We can be confined to our own IRC chat rooms to avoid duplicates. Your system can also prefix our names with “Tera-“ so the name would be “Tera-admin” to avoid duplicates. If this latter process is used, then no one else could be permitted to manually create usernames of “Tera-“.
Is this do-able?

Subject: Re: LightIRC usernames
What you want has more to do with the IRCd configuration than with lightIRC. However, in my approach, you could also disable the /nick command (coming release) to avoid that people change their nicks.
However, the best way would be to set up an own IRCd and use an authentication to make sure every user name can only be taken by the authorized user. InspIRCd offers a nice way of MySQL authentication. You would pass lightIRC the user name and the hashed user password. The IRCd checks your database for that row and lets the user only connect if everything is fine.

In summary of what he said... set up your own IRC server.I wrote to a IRC developer asking this same question. The original request and his reply are below. I am sharing in case this information is helpful to you or others. As for me, I believe I will go with a different solution, CometChat. I will investigate that option further and make a decision next week.
I understand, thx for informationyou need to choose a UNIQUE name. Either you can have the server automatically pick a random number so you would be, for example, Allan_435621 or you can choose another name. The server has a lot of users so all the common names will be taken.
